Kiwi population was 3.5 million 20 years ago, and is close to 5 million now. They are bringing in 50-100k people a year, straight onto benefits, whilst making it really hard for Europeans to come here.

the reading of the shahadat in parliament was the killer. We are officially fucked.

Yet so few people are concerned. You would think at least a few people would be complaining about high house prices, low wages, and social atomization or worried about what the country will look like in one hundred years time.

I feel like a kiwi Cassandra these days. Not a single politician campaigned on immigration despite it obviously being an issue.

AdvanceNZ did, although they were a shitshow.

I don't believe labour really won. No way the farmers voted for them, the SNA, Fresh water and new compliance legislation is killer.

As for us calling you Cas for short, talk to people IRL. there's a surprising number of people who have noticed but won't talk about it until you give them the opportunity to. Fear of social death is strong here.
